S2 Entertainment said it will take legal action over online rumors linked to alleged leaked security camera footage of Julie from the girl group Kiss of Life.<\/p>\n
The agency said Monday that it had identified the circulation of illegally shared videos online.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we have already issued a statement, baseless speculation surrounding our artist continues to spread online. We wish to make our position clear,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The company said unverified rumors and reckless speculation were causing serious harm to its artist\u2019s reputation and character, adding that the situation had become intolerable.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with our legal counsel, we are gathering and analyzing evidence, and we are preparing legal measures against the dissemination of false information, malicious posts and all acts that infringe on personal rights,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The agency stressed that all evidence collected will be used in legal proceedings and that it will respond strongly without any settlement or leniency. <\/p>\n
\u201cIllegal leaking and distributing videos, as well as secondary harm and manipulation, may also be subject to criminal punishment,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
Earlier that day, a video spread on the Chinese social media platform Weibo showing a man and a woman engaging in physical contact in what appeared to be a bar room. Some online users speculated that the individuals were Julie and Kangmin of the boy group VERIVERY.<\/p>\n
S2 Entertainment said, \u201cThis involves a matter of personal privacy, and the company cannot provide details.\u201d <\/p>\n
Kangmin\u2019s agency, Jellyfish Entertainment, also addressed rumors, saying, \u201cThe claims are entirely false and constitute malicious defamation of our artist.\u201d<\/p>\n
